Rupert Reynolds

I'm still getting Defender updates. I wonder how long that will last? The problem with upgrading is that some stuff, which works in Win8.1 (x64) + StartIsBack, just doesn't work on my other half's PC running Win 10. Also it seems that 10 is another step toward "It's not your PC, it's ours. And you owe us rent". So I've moved most tasks over to Linux Mint and 8.1 is probably the last Windows I'll install. Roops
